The purpose of this workshop is to address the complexities of cyberinfrastructure and effective use of technology to increase the productivity and capabilities of the geosciences community. Building on a substantial bibliography of reports from workshops, advisory committees, and government agencies, the focus of this workshop will be in three principle areas:1) Develop and nurture a community of practice. Identifying and encouraging the use standards in cyberinfrastructure, such as use of SOAs for access and use of data, that will support trans-disciplinary work well into the future (e.g. GIS standards that have been adopted by geosciences researchers). It is recognized that there will be a variety of approaches used by different groups within geosciences. However, these standards, and interoperability among them, will improve over time, if technology history provides any guidance. It is important the geosciences community influence the development of standards that are widely used in more diverse communities. Developing effective methods to influence standards and practices will benefit the geosciences. 2) Address the full lifecycle of data. NSF data policy encourages researchers and educators to share data. The recent implementation of a required data management plan for each project proposal submitted to NSF encourages the community to consider the full lifecycle of data that is generated during a grant. There are several approaches to lifecycle paradigms and adoption of community practices, the choice of technology employed, and the development of partnerships all influence the implementation of the full lifecycle of data. 3) Symbiotic partnerships. Partnerships with Federal agencies, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and industry are essential for the long-term success of the geosciences. Much of the geosciences community supported by NSF depends on data, software, and practices gathered, developed and encouraged by other entities. For example, data provided by USGS, NOAA, and NASA are invaluable in the conduct of many NSF supported research activities. However, the full value of the research community to the agencies and organizations nationally and internationally has yet to be realized because symbiotic interactions have not been developed to their full potential.The principal deliverable from the workshop will be a state-of-the-field report to NSF and the USGS (a co-convener of the workshop) of the geoinformatics community?s capabilities and needs that could in turn ultimately benefit from an academic-multi-agency community-focused set of development activities. Additional deliverables would include: a) readiness assessment and identification of gaps for both technology and education around geo-data informatics and their priorities;;b) grand challenge opportunities as well as immediate next steps; and c) Identification of additional stakeholders and means to include their inputs. If this workshop is successful in setting directions for the development of: community cyberinfrastructure practices, a culture of consideration for the lifecycle of data, and paradigms for mutually beneficial partnerships, then the foundation for cross-directorate and trans-disciplinary research will be greatly enhanced.

该研讨会的目的是解决网络基础设施的复杂性和有效利用技术来提高地球科学社区的生产率和能力。 在研讨会，咨询委员会和政府机构的大量报告的基础上，该研讨会的重点将在三个主要领域：1）发展和培养实践社区。 识别和鼓励网络基础设施中的使用标准，例如使用SOA来访问和使用数据，这些标准将在未来良好地支持跨学科工作（例如，地球科学研究人员已通过了GIS标准）。 人们认识到，地球科学中不同群体将使用多种方法。 但是，如果技术历史提供任何指导，这些标准以及它们之间的互操作性将随着时间的推移而改善。 地球科学社区影响着广泛用于多样化社区的标准的发展很重要。 开发影响标准和实践的有效方法将使地球科学受益。 2）解决数据的完整生命周期。 NSF数据政策鼓励研究人员和教育者共享数据。 提交给NSF的每个项目提案的最新实施的数据管理计划鼓励社区考虑赠款期间生成的数据的完整生命周期。 生命周期范式和采用社区实践，采用的技术选择以及伙伴关系的发展都有几种方法，都影响了数据的完整生命周期的实施。 3）共生伙伴关系。 与联邦机构，国际组织，非政府组织和行业的合作伙伴关系对于地球科学的长期成功至关重要。 NSF支持的许多地球科学社区都取决于其他实体收集，开发和鼓励的数据，软件和实践。 例如，USGS，NOAA和NASA提供的数据在许多NSF支持的研究活动中是无价的。 但是，研究界对国家和国际机构和组织的全部价值尚未实现，因为尚未充分发育共生互动。以社区为重点的发展活动。其他可交付成果将包括：a）围绕地理数据信息学及其优先事项的技术和教育差距的准备性评估和识别；; b）巨大的挑战机会以及立即下一步； c）识别其他利益相关者，以及包括其投入的方法。如果该研讨会成功地为开发：社区网络基础设施实践，数据生命周期的考虑文化以及互惠互利伙伴关系的范式的考虑，那么跨导向和跨学科研究的基础将得到很大的增强。
